Consultancy Services

2026-11-03

LHC Procurement Group (LHCPG) intends to establish a new framework agreement for the provision of Consultancy Services (CS2), replacing the existing Consultancy Services (CS1) and Multi-Disciplinary Consultancy (MDC1) frameworks. The framework will provide public sector organisations with access to a comprehensive range of professional consultancy services to support the planning, design, delivery, refurbishment, maintenance and management of buildings, infrastructure and associated assets. The proposed scope includes, but is not limited to, architectural services, project management, quantity surveying and cost consultancy, building surveying, civil and structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, planning consultancy, principal designer services, employer's agent services, environmental consultancy, building safety and compliance, and multidisciplinary consultancy services. CS2 is intended to support a broad range of public sector projects, including housing, construction, refurbishment, regeneration, asset management, retrofit and decarbonisation, with services available across the participating LHCPG regions. The framework is expected to be divided into discipline-based lots and geographical areas, enabling contracting authorities to access specialist or multidisciplinary consultancy services appropriate to their requirements. The final scope, lot structure and procurement arrangements will be confirmed in the subsequent tender notice and associated procurement documentation. The framework will be available for use by eligible public sector organisations, with individual contracts awarded in accordance with the framework's published call-off procedures.
